Accessing Public Release Varieties Breeder seed of public release varieties is available to anyone (including farmers and seed growers) for multiplication, increase and marketing. There are no royalties or seed marketing agen-cy fees attached to use or sale of seed produced from Breeder seed of public release varieties. While subsequent seed pro-duction may be Pedigreed, this is the buyer’s choice and the buyer may increase the seed of public release varieties in any way he/she wishes (only pedigreed seed can be sold by variety name, for most major crop kinds). To purchase Breeder seed of public release varieties, contact the breeding institution listed in the Breeding Institution and Seed Distributors listings on pag-es 30-32.

VR2 The Western Producer

The cropland of Saskatchewan has been divided into four areas based roughly on agro-climatic conditions. Crop yields can vary from area to area. In choosing a variety, producers will want to consider the yield data in combination with marketing and agronomic factors.Area 1: Drought is a definite hazard and high winds are common. Sawfly outbreaks often occur in this area. Cereal rust may be a problem in the southeastern section.Area 2: Drought and sawfly may be problems in the western and central sections of the area. Cereal rust may be a problem in the south-ern section.Area 3: Sawfly can also be a problem. Drought is not as likely to be a problem in this area, particularly in the east. Cereal rust may occur in the eastern portion. The frost-free period can be fairly short in the northern section.Area 4: Rainfall is usually adequate for crop production. However, early fall frosts and wet harvest conditions are frequent problems.Note About Dividing Lines:The dividing lines do not represent distinct changes over a short distance. The change from one area to another is gradual.

The Saskatchewan Advisory Council on Grain Crops (SACGC) and the Saskatchewan Variety Performance Group (SVPG) coordinate, supervise and review the collection, analysis and reporting of information in this booklet. Membership consists of representatives from:

• Saskatchewan Ministry of Agriculture • Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada • Seed Companies • Crop Development Centre • Saskatchewan Seed Growers Association • University of Saskatchewan • Crop Commissions • Saskatchewan Crop Insurance Corporation

SACGC and SVPG gratefully acknowledge the contributions of all individuals and organizations involved in the generation and publi-cation of this information.

Regional Variety Testing in Saskatchewan relies on support from many organizations, including:

Saskatchewan Canola Development Commission

2018 Guide


Regional testing of crop varieties is conduct-ed to provide producers with information on the agronomic performance of varieties un-der different agro-climatic conditions. Sas-katchewan producers will continue to have the opportunity to evaluate the newest grain crop varieties and their suitability for produc-tion in different regions of the province.

The Saskatchewan Ministry of Agriculture provides $100,000 toward a testing pro-gram that is based on industry-government partnership. An entry fee system is used, in which variety owners or companies with the distribution rights to a particular variety pay a portion of the cost of having the variety tested. The Saskatchewan Seed Growers’ Association, Saskatchewan Wheat Devel-opment Commission, Saskatchewan Barley Development Commission, Saskatchewan Oat Development Commission and Sask-Flax collectively provide $75,000 to the core program. Supplementary funds enhance the core program.

Technical and in-kind support is also provid-ed by Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada, Saskatchewan Crop Insurance Corporation and The Western Producer, publisher of the 2018 SaskSeed Guide.

A long-term database is maintained to pro-vide comparisons to a commonly grown check variety. The data include information on yield, various agronomic factors and cer-tain market-related traits.

The Saskatchewan Variety Performance Group (SVPG) administers the program for spring cereals, fall rye and flax. SVPG is composed of representatives from seed in-dustry, producers, breeders and government.

SeCan Association administers the funds for SVPG. Crop coordinators manage the data and provide expertise for their respective crops.

The results of the testing are reviewed by the Saskatchewan Advisory Council on Grain Crops (SACGC), which also updates dis-ease and other agronomic information, and approves the data prior to inclusion in this publication.

The Saskatchewan Ministry of Agriculture grant also provides some support to pro-grams that test pulses, sunflower, winter wheat and canaryseed. The testing infor-mation from these crops is included in this publication.

Relative yield of varietiesTrials are conducted using uniform protocols and standard check varieties. Data are col-lected from as many sites as are available and statistically analyzed. Results in this publication are aggregated over a number of years and on an area basis for most crops.

Grain yield is a function of genetic and non-genetic factors. Variety trials are de-signed to measure the yield differences that are due to genetic causes. It is important to minimize variability due to non-genetic fac-tors such as moisture, temperature, transpi-ration, weeds, diseases and other pests. Ex-perimental design uses replication (repeated plantings of the varieties) and randomization (the position of the varieties within the test is assigned by chance) to estimate the pre-cision with which the genetic factors can be measured.

Relative yield is the yield of one variety ex-pressed as a percentage of the check vari-ety. Yields obtained in these trials are not identical to those obtained in commercial production. However, the relative ranking of these varieties compared to the check

variety, obtained over a number of years at several locations, would remain the same regardless of whether the grain yield was measured in small plots or large-scale fields. Relative yield is the best estimate of expect-ed yield advantage in the areas indicated.

Testing Pulse CropsIn 2017, the Saskatchewan Pulse Growers and the pulse breeding program at the Crop Development Centre (CDC), University of Saskatchewan, continued a 5-year agree-ment, with a budget of $160,000 per year, to conduct the pulse crop regional variety trials in Saskatchewan. The CDC collaborates with researchers at several locations to conduct the trials, including Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada research stations, provincial Agri-ARM sites, and the Canada-Saskatchewan Irrigation Diversification Centre. The proj-ect collects data on varieties from the CDC program, as well as those arising from other public or private pulse breeding programs. Since 2006, field pea, lentil, chickpea, dry bean and faba bean variety trials were con-ducted at 3 to 15 locations per crop in their target areas of adaptation in Saskatchewan. (Source: CDC)

RatingsMaturity is measured from seeding to swathing ripeness. The actual number of days to reach maturity depends on local climatic conditions and, to some extent, on management practices.

Some of the tables in this booklet express the relative maturity in days while others use a five-category scale: VE, E, M, L and VL (very early, early, medium, late, very late). The limits for each category can vary from crop to crop. In barley, for example, AC Metcalfe would be M, with L and E va-rieties plus or minus 1-2 days, and VL and VE varieties beyond this range.

ComparisonsThe relative maturity of varieties of different crops is important when making plans for seeding.

The table below compares the relative ma-turity ranges for crops grown in Saskatche-wan. Within each crop there are early and late maturing varieties. Whether a crop ma-tures before the first killing frost depends on seeding date, management practices and environmental factors. Not all crops have a wide area of adaptation.

It is noted that climatic conditions can cause a wide variability in crop maturity.

Resistance to the most important diseases in Western Canada is assessed in most crops as part of the variety registration process. The methods used to assess resistance in each crop are different. In some cases, spores of the pathogen are applied to plants in the greenhouse or in the field. In other cas-es, assessment is based on naturally occur-ring infection in the field. Each variety is rated on a five-point scale of Resistant (R), Mod-erately Resistant (MR), Intermediate Resis-tance (I), Moderately Susceptible (MS) and Susceptible (S). New varieties are not tested side-by-side with all existing varieties.

Because of variation in disease levels from year to year, each new variety is assigned a rating relative to a few existing varieties that serve as disease level standards or checks. Varieties differ in resistance because of dif-ferences in their genetic makeup and/or dif-ferences in the genetic makeup of the patho-gen that causes the disease. However, the genetic makeup of a pathogen can change over time and can enable the pathogen to overcome the resistance in a variety. In such cases, a variety with good resistance can quickly display poor resistance to a particular

disease. Unfortunately, because not all vari-eties are tested side-by-side every year, the ratings of older varieties may be less reliable.

Preserving the efficacy of disease resistance genes in current crop varieties is the most economical method of plant disease control. Disease resistance can be prolonged with good agronomic and integrated pest man-agement practices. Crop type, variety and fungicide rotation are important methods of preserving the effectiveness of disease resis-tance genes and fungicides. Disease resis-tance genes usually become ineffective due to short rotations and the prolonged use of one crop variety on a large acreage.

A number of factors can affect the level of disease symptoms observed at a given lo-cation in a given year. Environmental condi-tions such as moisture and temperature, the genetic makeup of both the variety and the pathogen, and the amount of the pathogen present can all affect the level of disease. Although a variety with Intermediate (I) re-sistance can show disease symptoms under favourable conditions, a Susceptible (S) va-riety would have much more disease under

the same conditions.

For example, ascochyta blight of chickpea is a very aggressive fungal disease. It can com-pletely kill Susceptible (S) varieties within two weeks of symptoms first appearing. Chick-pea varieties currently grown commercially in Saskatchewan have Intermediate (I) asco-chyta blight ratings. This resistance weakens as plant development nears the flowering stage. Cool, moist environmental conditions favour the disease; if these conditions per-sist early in the growing season, the disease symptoms can occur much earlier than the flowering stage. This is especially true on chickpea grown outside the Brown Soil Zone (the area of best adaptation) or on heavy tex-tured soils such as clays and clay loams.

In the past, infected chickpea varieties lack-ing resistance to ascochyta blight could be-come defoliated, with girdled branches and dead plants. If conditions turn warm and dry, the diseased plants can re-grow from auxilia-ry nodes, often producing flowers and pods. However, these late pods and seeds will most likely be frozen in the first fall frost and have no commercial value.

Plant Disease ResistanceBy Saskatchewan Ministry of Agriculture

Fusarium head blight has recently become more common in Saskatchewan. Producers will find out the level of fusarium damaged kernels (FDK) and perhaps also DON (de-oxynivalenol) on their grain from the eleva-tor. However, Fusarium infection levels are needed to determine seed quality.

FDK does not provide the whole story re-garding Fusarium infection. FDK is a mea-sure of grain quality, not seed quality. Seed can be infected by Fusarium even when FDK are not present.

Fusarium spp. can infect the plant at differ-ent stages of the kernel development. Early infection may lead to an aborted floret, while later infection may leave spores on the ker-nel without showing visual symptoms. Tomb-stone kernels (FDK) are infected in between those extremes.

Because there is no correlation between FDK and Fusarium infection of the seed, FDK cannot be used to predict Fusarium in-fection levels. A disease test is needed to determine if seed has Fusarium spores on it that could cause seedling blight or root rot.

Fusarium infection on the seed can some-times be managed with a seed treatment. Fusarium graminearum is particularly ag-gressive form of fusarium head blight, so recommendations are to prevent its intro-duction into new areas.

Seed treatments are used to manage seed-ling blights caused by Fusarium spp. The primary source of fusarium head blight infec-tion is infected residue. Seed is not consid-ered a contributing factor to fusarium head blight.

In areas where F. graminearum has not be-come established, seed with more than 5% F. graminearum is not recommended for planting. Seed with 2-5% F. graminearum should be treated with an appropriate seed treatment.

F. graminearum now has a wide distribution in Saskatchewan so, for most producers, a seed treatment should be used when total Fusarium species is greater than 10%.

If seed is tested early in winter, germination should be retested again in the spring, espe-cially if disease is present. Germination can decrease during storage.

For more information, refer to the Saskatch-ewan Agriculture publication Seed-Borne Diseases of Cereal Crops.

Maximum Residue LimitsMaximum Residue Limits (MRLs) are the level of pesticide res-idues permitted in the harvested crop, including imported food. Each country establishes its own MRLs, including Canada.

MRLs are set for each pesticide registered in Canada. Sometimes MRLs in Canada differ from those in export markets or may not exist in export markets for certain pesticides. Agricultural exports may be tested by importing countries for residues of unregistered products, excess residues of registered products or unregistered uses.

What Are Plant Breeders’ Rights?By Mitchell Japp, Saskatchewan AgricultureThe goal of Plant Breeders’ Rights (PBR) legislation is to encourage investment and development in the crops sector. There are many ways to accomplish this, but UPOV-based PBR balances the interests of the farmer and the breeder. This gives the farmer fair access to the use of purchased seed, and the breeder can expect a royalty from every new farmer buying seed of the breeder’s variety.

The royalty and protections under PBR as-sure that companies and institutions that in-vest in plant breeding are able to keep rea-sonable control of their varieties and secure fair compensation for their efforts. Some of the benefits of PBR include:

• Access to new and improved plant vari-eties, improving the bottom line for pro-ducers. Enhanced protection under the revised PBR will encourage the release of new varieties from other countries (once registered in Canada), as well as stimulate increased investments in vari-ety development here in Canada.

• Farmers are allowed to save seed for their own use, on their own farms, if the original seed was obtained legitimately.

• No negative impacts for those who legit-imately purchase seed.

When a plant breeder develops a new va-riety for use in Canada, they may apply un-der the Plant Breeders’ Rights Act to obtain certain controls over the multiplication and sale of the seed of that variety. Sale, trade or any other transfer of the seed for propa-

gation purposes is prohibited by law without the written permission of the breeder or their agent.

Varieties protected by PBR are identified with one of two logos. Varieties protected prior to Feb. 27, 2015, are identified by:

and those protected after Feb. 27, 2015, are identified by:

Varieties previously protected by PBR re-main under the same rules as before. Vari-eties protected since Feb. 27, 2015, are pro-tected under the new PBR act.

The new PBR act extends the right of the breeder, giving them further opportunity to protect their variety and ensuring that those who are benefitting from the technology are paying for it.

It has always been illegal to sell seed without consent of the breeder. Now, it will also be illegal to purchase seed, meaning both the seller and purchaser can be liable if the seed sale is not approved. To be sure, the best way to know if the seed being purchased is an approved sale is to purchase certified seed. Producers should look for the blue certified seed tag and keep it in their records as long as they grow grain derived from that original seed purchase.

The first 10 years of Canada’s PBR Act brought improved access to varieties, new investment in varieties, and new and im-proved genetics for farmers. With the new PBR, producers will benefit from greater ac-cess to new varieties for the crops they grow, and breeders will be able to better protect the investment made in the development of new varieties so they can continue to develop new varieties.

For more information visit www.pbrfacts.ca or contact the PBR Office at 613-773-7188.

UPOV is the International Union for the Protection of New Varieties of Plants. In order to be a member, a country must have legislation that aligns with a ratified UPOV convention. There are 75 UPOV member countries, 58 of which have rati-fied UPOV’91 compliant legislation.

Interpreting Seed Test ResultsBy Jason Danielson, Discovery Seed LabsWhat a difference a year can make! The 2016 harvest was challenging for most farm-ing regions in Western Canada. Fortunately, in 2017 the weather has not been as big of a factor in terms of adverse harvest condi-tions and poor crop quality. However, it is still important to have your seed tested to deter-mine its quality.

Seed testing can give an indication of how fit your seed is for planting. Tests should be done for germination, vigour and disease. This package of tests can help you better un-derstand how suitable seed will be for next spring.

The germination test will give you an indica-tion of the percentage of seeds that will grow in an ideal growth environment. The vigour test indicates the percentage of seed that will grow in adverse conditions. Even though the vigour assay is not standardized between seed labs, the results should be indicative of the seed’s fitness when grown in harsher conditions. Combining the information from the germination and vigour tests will give you a good snapshot of the fitness of your seed. Ideally, the germination rate from your sam-ple should be higher than 85%. The vigour should be close to the germination value; but if there is variation, it should be no greater than 10 percentage points. A large difference could be an indication of issues in the seed, especially if storage conditions over the win-ter months are not ideal.

If forced to use seed with a lower germi-nation rate, you will have to increase the seeding rate to reach your target plants per square foot. Keep in mind that you cannot just increase the seeding amount by the per-centage you are off from 100% as not all of the seeds you are adding to the increased seeding rate will germinate. A seeding rate calculator can be a helpful tool to determine the correct seeding rate.

Significant time between when your test was completed and when seeding will occur can result in your germination and vigour val-ues dropping. You can retest your seed in the spring to determine if germination has changed from the initial test in the fall.

When performing your own germination tests, it can be challenging to determine if a seed has germinated and is healthy, versus a seed that develops weak roots that won’t grow into a plant. Other issues such as fresh and hard seeds, in addition to seed dorman-cy, can lead to inaccurate results. A certified seed analyst is trained to conduct seed tests.

Disease is present in a surprising number of 2017 samples. The disease could be caused by higher populations of carry-over disease in the soil, untimely rain showers in the fall or a humid crop canopy. Some of these sam-ples have disease levels high enough to re-sult in concern when choosing seed for 2018.

There are different diseases of interest de-pending on the crop that you are seeding. For cereals, the main diseases to test for are Cochliobolus sativus (root rot), Ustilago nuda (smut) and Fusarium (root rot) – both Fusarium graminearum and total. Although F. graminearum is not the most aggressive Fusarium species for seedling blight, any ar-eas that have not had fusarium head blight caused by F. graminearum should avoid in-troducing it. The Fusarium total reported on the seed test includes F. graminearum.

For pulses, the diseases of interest are As-cochyta (leaf blight), Anthracnose, Botrytis (grey mould) and Sclerotinia (white mould). The amount of disease pressure during the last growing season will determine what you will likely have available for quality of seed.

A good practice is to always use the best seed you can source. In good years you should look for seed with little to no presence of disease. In challenging years when the disease is higher, it is important to still source the best seed available and be sure to use seed with good germination.

When using seed with high disease and low germination, more seed is needed to achieve the target plants per square foot. Increas-ing the seeding rate increases the amount of disease inoculum that you are adding to your soil. A seed treatment can be a good in-vestment in a variety of scenarios, including when using seed with higher disease levels.

It is important to communicate if the crop intended for seed has been treated with pre-harvest glyphosate. Otherwise, the seed will be tested in a normal germination test and the glyphosate may adversely affect germination. This adds an additional cost because the sample will have to be retested for germination. If there is a possibility of gly-phosate on the seed, a soil germination test should be requested to “tie up” any glypho-sate that might be on the outside of the seed so it does not have adverse effects when the seed is germinating.

Some crop desiccants are registered for use on crops intended for seed production. Gly-phosate is not a desiccant. Glyphosate is not recommended for any crop that is to be used for seed. Glyphosate at pre-harvest can cause germination and possibly vigour prob-lems if the herbicide was applied before the seed was fully mature. Crops sprayed with pre-harvest glyphosate may germinate, but the seedling could be stunted and deformed. Crops treated prematurely are off-label and have the potential to threaten export mar-kets.

The quantity of seed tested is minuscule compared to the size of the seed lot that it represents. Improper sampling is the great-est source of error in seed testing. Make cer-tain the sample is representative of the entire seed lot. To collect a representative sample, gather more seed than needed for a given test. Hand sample or use a probe so that all areas of the seed lot are represented. If the seed is in a bin, sample it from the top, cen-tre, sides and bottom. Do not take your seed sample from beside the bin door. It might be more appropriate to collect subsamples as the seed is being transferred from a truck or bin. After collecting the seed, thoroughly mix it.

Regardless of how accurately the technical work is the results can only show the quality of the sample submitted for analysis. Conse-quently, every effort must be made to ensure the samples sent to the analyst accurately represent the composition of the lot in ques-tion.

*AAC Awesome VB, AAC Chiffon VB, AAC Indus VB, AAC Paramount VB and Sadash VB were recently discovered to be midge -tolerant varieties with the Sm1 gene. Producers with seed purchased prior to 2018 should check with their seed grower to ensure they have a stewardship agreement in place in order to preserve the single gene resistance. New seed may be needed to preserve the gene. More information is available at www.midgetolerantwheat.ca.


Producers are strongly encouraged to use a combination of the Canadian Food Inspection Agency’s List of Registered Varieties www.in-spection.gc.ca and the Canadian Grains Com-mission’s Variety Designation Lists www.grain-scanada.gc.ca to determine the registration and grade eligibility status of varieties.

Grain yield, protein content, time to maturity, seed weight, volume weight and plant height of all varieties of common wheat and durum wheat are compared to Carberry and Strong-field, respectively. In 2017, the spring wheat varieties supported for registration since 2012 were grown in replicated trials at 14 locations and compared to Carberry. Spring wheat va-rieties registered prior to 2010 have been com-pared indirectly to Carberry using a long-term comparison to AC Barrie and Katepwa.

Most varieties have been rated for their relative resistance to pre-harvest sprouting. Under wet post-maturity conditions, varieties rated poor have a reduced ability to retain high Hagberg Falling Number values relative to those rated good or very good. Varieties with high test weight retain grade better under adverse har-vest weather than those with low test weight. During wet harvest weather, grades drop more rapidly due to sprouting in swathed than in standing crops.

New races of leaf rust and stripe rust contin-ue to evolve. Therefore, the rust resistance in varieties may change from year to year. The seed guide contains the most up-to-date infor-mation on rust resistance in current varieties. Early seeding may minimize risk of crop losses for varieties sown in southeastern Saskatche-wan that are rated poor or very poor to leaf rust. Field scouting throughout the growing season is encouraged so that timely corrective action can be undertaken if required

All varieties are at least moderately resistant to shattering. All varieties have moderately good resistance to common root rot.

Seed of varieties rated moderately suscep-tible and susceptible for bunt and loose smut should be treated with a recommended fungi-cide. Please refer to the Seed Facts section of this booklet or the most recent Guide to Crop Protection.

All wheat and durum varieties exhibit similar susceptibility to ergot infestation.

CANADA WESTERN RED SPRING (CWRS)AAC Adamant VB, AAC Alida VB, AAC Cam-eron VB, Goodeve VB, CDC Hughes VB, AAC Jatharia VB, CDC Landmark VB, AAC

Prevail VB, Shaw VB, SY479 VB, CDC Titani-um VB, Unity VB*, CDC Utmost VB, Vesper VB are CWRS midge-tolerant varieties. They contain the same “Sm1” gene for tolerance. To manage against the build-up of midge resis-tance to the Sm1 gene, an interspersed refuge is used commercially. These varieties are not immune to wheat midge and can suffer some midge damage when high midge infestation levels occur. More information on midge toler-ant wheat cultivars and interspersed refuge can be found at www.midgetolerantwheat.ca.

CDC Adamant VB, CDC Hughes VB, CDC Landmark VB, Lillian* and Unity VB* have partially solid to solid stems that may provide protection against the wheat stem sawfly.

*Lillian and Unity VB will be moving to the CNHR class as of August 1, 2018.

Seed of new varieties CDC Hughes VB, CDC Landmark VB, AAC Redberry, SY Slate, and AAC Viewfield will be available spring 2018. Seed of new varieties CDC Adamant VB, Parata and AAC Tisdale will be available in limited quantities fall 2018. Seed of new variety AAC Alida VB is expected to be available in limited quantities fall 2019.

Durum Wheat


The Canadian Grain Commission (CGC) Wheat Class Modernization that was initi-ated in 2015 will affect 29 varieties planted in 2018. Revised quality standards (estab-lished in May 2015) led to a review of the suitability of all western Canadian wheat varieties for their current market classifica-tion. The review was in part due to some concerns about declining gluten strength in Canadian wheat shipments.

The observed weaker gluten strength was due to a number of factors, including the predominance of some varieties that were on the lower end of the range of gluten strength for CWRS (Canada Western Red Spring). Customers require higher gluten strength from CWRS for their products to perform consistently. CGC reviewed the quality standards expected for CWRS and CPSR (Canada Prairie Spring Red) wheat classes so that the performance of those classes are more consistent with customer expectations.

The wheat class review was comprehen-sive. The initial 29 varieties will be moved out of CWRS and CPSR Aug. 1, 2018. As a result, those varieties, if sown in 2018, will be marketed in their new class – the Canada Northern Hard Red (CNHR) class.

As an ongoing part of the review, one addi-tional variety, AC Crystal, has been identi-fied will move out of CPSR to CNHR Aug. 1, 2019. If any further varieties are identified, producers will be notified of any class desig-nation changes after up to two years of data have been collected.

The list of varieties moving to CNHR in-cludes 25 CWRS and five CPSR varieties, but only five appear in the 2018 Varieties of Grain Crops – Harvest, Lillian and Unity VB in CWRS, Conquer VB and AC Crystal in CPSR.

For farmers growing one of the varieties that will be moved to a new class, these varieties can continue to be grown, but after Aug. 1, 2018 they will not be eligible for the CWRS or CPSR classes. After Aug. 1, 2019, AC Crystal will not be eligible for CPSR.

Wheat Classes ChangesBy Mitchell Japp, Saskatchewan Agriculture

Producers are strongly encouraged to use the Canadian Grain Commission’s (CGC) Va-riety Designation Lists (www.grainscanada.gc.ca), which indicate the varieties belong-ing to each class of wheat in Canada and the complete list of varieties being designated to another class, effective Aug. 1, 2018 and beyond. For complete and up-to-date infor-mation on the Canadian Wheat Class Modernization initiative, visit CGC’s website. It is also recommended producers use the Canadian Food Inspection Agency’s List of Reg-istered Varieties (www.inspection.gc.ca) to determine registration status of varieties.

WR859CL and 5605HR CL are tolerant to the CLEARFIELD® herbicides Adrenalin SC and Altitude FX.

CANADA PRAIRIE SPRING RED (CPSR) Conquer VB*, Enchant VB, AAC Foray VB and AAC Tenacious VB are CPSR midge-tol-erant varieties using the same Sm1 gene as in the CWRS varieties and will be marketed with an interspersed refuge (see above). *Conquer VB will be moving to the CNHR class as of August 1, 2018.

Seed of new variety AAC Goodwin will be available in limited quantities fall 2018.

CANADA NORTHERN HARD RED (CNHR) AAC Concord has a solid stem that can pro-vide protection against the wheat stem sawfly.

CANADA WESTERN HARD WHITE SPRING (CWHWS)Varieties in the Hard White market class are intended for whole wheat bread and Yellow Al-kaline Noodle markets.

CANADA WESTERN SOFT WHITE SPRING (CWSWS)AAC Chiffon VB, AAC Indus VB, AAC Par-amount VB and Sadash VB are CWSWS midge-tolerant varieties using the same Sm1 gene as in the CWRS varieties and will be mar-keted with an interspersed refuge (see above).

Soft white spring wheat may be used as a

feedstock in the production of ethanol. Soft white spring wheat varieties are susceptible to pre-harvest sprouting. The leaf spot pathogens that affect other wheat classes also affect soft white cultivars and therefore recommendations for leaf spot control are similar.

Seed of AAC Indus VB will be available spring 2018. Limited seed of AAC Paramount VB will be available fall 2018.

CANADA WESTERN SPECIAL PURPOSE (CWSP) AAC Awesome VB, Charing VB and Spar-row VB are CWSP midge-tolerant varieties us-ing the same Sm1 gene as in the CWRS vari-eties and will be marketed with an interspersed refuge (see above).

Varieties in the Special Purpose market class have no defined quality attributes and may have specific end-uses. Most varieties are in-tended for ethanol and livestock feed purpos-es. Producers are encouraged to contact the variety distributor or developer regarding uses of these varieties.

Seed of CDC Throttle will be available spring 2018. Limited seed of Alderon, AAC Awe-some VB, Charing VB, and Sparrow VB will be available fall 2018.

CANADA WESTERN AMBER DURUM (CWAD)AAC Cabri, CDC Fortitude, AAC Raymore and AAC Stronghold have a solid stem that

can provide protection against the wheat stem sawfly.

CDC Carbide VB, AAC Marchwell VB and AAC Succeed VB are CWAD midge-tolerant varieties using the same Sm1 gene as in the CWRS varieties and will be marketed with an interspersed refuge (see above).

Seed of new varieties CDC Alloy, AAC Con-gress, CDC Dynamic and CDC Precision will be available spring 2018. Limited quantities of seeds of varieties AAC Stronghold and CDC Credence available fall 2018. Seed of new va-riety AAC Succeed VB is expected to be avail-able fall 2019.

CWAD varieties are generally more suscep-tible than CWRS varieties to Fusarium Head Blight (FHB). Growing varieties with improved resistance is recommended to reduce infection and disease propagule production as part of an integrated management strategy. Although no varieties are resistant, Brigade, CDC Cre-dence and Transcend generally express low-er FHB symptoms compared to other cultivars in the class. Mycotoxin (DON) production by FHB fungi is generally lower for Transcend.

All durum varieties are susceptible to two new races of loose smut.

WHEAT ADDITIONAL INFORMATION (CONT’D)


Winter wheat can be grown successfully in most areas if seeded into standing stubble within the optimal seeding date period (gen-erally before Sept. 15) and if there is ade-quate snowfall.

Winter wheat will often escape fusarium head blight and wheat midge damage if rec-ommended seeding dates are followed.

Radiant and AAC Elevate have tolerance to the wheat curl mite vector that transmits Wheat Streak Mosaic Virus. To preserve the effectiveness of this wheat curl mite toler-ance gene, agronomic practices that elimi-nate the “green bridge” of plant material that

serves as a reservoir for mites should be followed whenever possible.

AAC Wildfire expresses tolerance to Bio-type 1 of the Russian wheat aphid.

AAC Icefield is a new hard white winter wheat that is eligible for experimental grades under an identity preserved system. It has been granted interim registration to facilitate market research. AAC Icefield express-es high milling yield of very white flour and good gluten strength at lower protein con-centrations that may be of interest in some niche markets.

CDC Ptarmigan has a soft white kernel. Sunrise has a soft red kernel.

Radiant and AAC Wildfire express bronze chaff at maturity.

The awnless head of CDC Ptarmigan and Pintail may improve palatability when har-vested for forage or silage.

Seed of the new variety AAC Wildfire will be available in fall 2018. Limited quantities of AAC Goldrush and AAC Icefield may be available in fall 2018.

1 Resistance ratings: R = Resistant; MR = Moderately Resistant; I = Intermediate Resistance; MS = Moderately Susceptible; S = Susceptible. ADDITIONAL INFORMATIONSpring triticale matures 2-4 days later than AC Andrew CWSWS wheat; therefore it should be planted as early as possible. Newer triticale varieties yield 2 to 10% higher than AC An-drew. Susceptibility to Fusarium Head Blight is at least as great in triticale as in wheat. AC Ultima has an improved Hagberg Falling Num-ber. Brevis has shorter and stronger straw.

AAC Delight, Tyndal and Bunker are spring forage types and, along with Taza, have re-duced awns.

Winter triticale has winter hardiness equal to that of winter wheat. Luoma and Metzger have reduced awns. Metzger is shorter with stron-ger straw.

All triticale cultivars are susceptible to ergot infection and similar in reaction. Severe infes-tation of ergot can occur in any of the available cultivars if environmental conditions are fa-vourable. Sunray represents an improvement in ergot resistance.

Fall rye is much more cold tolerant than win-ter wheat or winter triticale, with field survival being approximately 30 to 100% better than winter wheat for current fall rye varieties.

A major factor in marketing rye grain into the milling market is sprouting. This is generally measured using the Hagberg falling number

test and is measured in seconds. Typically, a falling number of 180 seconds or greater is preferred by the rye milling market. Fall-ing number is heavily influenced by moisture around harvest time, and producers must make sure rye is harvested in a timely manner, similar to wheat crops. There is considerable variation in fall rye varieties for falling number;

this must be considered if the milling market is the targeted end-user for rye grain.

Very little recent information on shattering in rye has been obtained, as it has not been ob-served in field trials recently, thus no informa-tion is available for recently released varieties.

Malting BarleyMain Characteristics of Varieties

Growers are reminded that the malting and brewing industry is cautious about using new varieties. Growers are cautioned that most malting varieties, especially two-row barley, are more susceptible to sprouting.

Lines Tested for Malting and Brewing QualitySmall scale tests are a good measure of malting potential, but are not sufficient to determine the commercial acceptability of malting varieties. Final acceptance is given only after two years of successful plant scale evaluation. Several carload lots of barley

are malted and brewed. The beer is then given the ultimate test – a taste panel. This process normally takes a minimum of three years since a crop grown in one year will be malted in January-February, brewed in May-June, and aged and tasted in October-No-vember of the following year.

Feed and Food BarleyMain Characteristics of Varieties

Most available varieties are susceptible to one or more types of smut. Therefore, seed of susceptible varieties should be treated with a registered fungicide on a regular ba-sis.

Harvesting grain over 16% moisture and then using aeration bins for drying can lead to sprouting and embryo death. Seed with reduced germination is undesirable for seed or malting.

Two-row barley varieties are generally more resistant to shattering than six-row varieties.

Forage BarleyDesperado and AC Ranger are six-row for-age varieties. CDC Cowboy and CDC Mav-erick are two-row forage varieties.

HullessIn hulless varieties the hull is left in the field, therefore, comparable yields are 9 to 12% lower. Hulless seed is more susceptible to damage than hulled seed, so handling should be minimized.

Hulless FoodCDC Ascent, CDC Fibar and CDC Rattan

are high beta-glucan, waxy starch varieties. CDC Hilose is a high beta-glucan, high amy-lose starch variety. All are available for spe-cialty markets. CDC Carter, CDC McGwire and Roseland are two-row, normal starch, hulless barleys suitable for food use.

IrrigationDisease resistance, straw strength and ma-turity are more critical when barley is grown under irrigation. Growers should select early, strong-strawed, disease-resistant varieties.

OatMain Characteristics of Varieties

Although disease pressure is lower in east-ern Saskatchewan than in Manitoba, crown rust races capable of attacking most vari-eties, except those with an MR or R rating, are increasing in southeast Saskatchewan. Early seeding will reduce the likelihood of severe infection.

Producers growing oats for the milling mar-ket are advised to check the “approved” varieties list available from the various oat millers.

Feed Oat CDC SO-I and CDC Nasser are specialty feed oat varieties with higher digestible en-ergy for cattle.

Forage OatCDC Baler, CDC Haymaker and Murphy are forage oat varieties available for annual forage production in Saskatchewan.

Hulless OatAC Gwen is a hulless variety available for production in Saskatchewan. The hull is part of normal oat yield, thus hulless types yield less. They are difficult to handle and store and should be stored at less than 12% moisture.

False Oats or FatuoidsFalse wild oats, or fatuoids, are off-types within common oat fields that have an ap-pearance similar to wild oat, most nota-

bly a prominent, dark awn and increased hairiness at the base of each floret. They are thought to result from the infrequent cross-pollination between common oat (Avena sativa) and true wild oat (Avena fat-ua). As such, their presence will likely be observed more often in fields planted from farm-saved seed. They have been reported within fields of common oat at rates up to 1% and occur within all oat varieties.


General Seed FactsPEDIGREED SEEDUse certified seed regularly. This assures that the seed has high genetic purity, high germina-tion and is relatively free from weeds and other crop seeds.

RE-USE OF HYBRID SEEDSeed grown from a hybrid variety (regardless of crop or variety) should not be re-used, since a 20 to 25% yield reduction can occur in the next generation. This reduction is due to loss of hybrid vigour and possible occurrence of male-sterile plants. Lack of uniformity for ma-turity and quality traits can also occur.

SEED CLEANINGSeed should be cleaned carefully to remove weed seeds, trash, small or broken kernels, ergot and sclerotia. Not all seed-cleaning plants are equipped to clean grain to accept-able seed standards.

SEED TREATMENTVarious fungicides have been registered for the control of seedling diseases caused by soil- and seed-borne pathogens.

Use of seed from cereal crops infected with Fusarium species may result in poor emer-gence. Such seed should be treated with a registered fungicide before planting. Use of in-fected seed may introduce fusarium diseases into unaffected areas. Tolerance for Fusarium vary with species. Refer to the Saskatchewan Agriculture publication Seed-Borne Diseases of Cereal Crops for more information.

Smuts that attack wheat, barley, oat and rye can be controlled by seed treatment. If seed from a crop in which bunt or smut was ob-served must be used for seed, seed should be tested and seed treatment should be consid-ered. If the presence of smut is uncertain, va-rieties rated susceptible (S) should be treated every year, those rated moderately suscepti-ble (MS) every second year and those rated intermediate resistance (I) every third year.

Only systemic fungicides will control true loose smut of barley and wheat, and stem smut of rye. Pathogens causing the other types of smut (covered, false loose, oat smut and bunt) are carried on the outside of the seed

and can be controlled by non-systemic seed treatments.

The virulent form of blackleg of canola is wide-spread in Saskatchewan. Seed treatment with a recommended fungicide can reduce the lev-el of disease. Use of canola seed commercial-ly coated with an appropriate seed treatment is a convenient alternative to on-farm seed treatment.

Wireworms that attack all grain crops, and flea beetles that attack canola and mustard, can be controlled by seed treatments containing insecticides.

Read the label carefully before using any seed treatment. Information on their use and rec-ommended rates is found in the Saskatch-ewan Agriculture publication Guide to Crop Protection. Carryover stocks of treated seed should be tested for germination before plant-ing. Treated seed must not be delivered to an elevator or used for feed.

SEED-BORNE DISEASES OF PULSESPulse growers should use seed that has been tested for seed-borne diseases such as asco-chyta, anthracnose and botrytis. Tolerances for seed infection vary with the pulse crop, the disease, weather conditions of the region and the availability of a seed treatment. If infection of the crop from sources other than seed is likely, using seed with low infection levels be-comes less important.

In regions with frequent rainfall and high hu-midity, tolerances will be lower. Thus, for as-cochyta blight of lentil, use of seed with up to 5 per cent seed infection is acceptable in the Brown and Dark Brown Soil Zones, but 0 per cent is desirable in the Black Soil Zone. A seed treatment for ascochyta-infected lentil seed is available and is recommended if seed infection levels approach 5%. In pea, up to 10% seed infection with ascochyta is accept-able. In chickpea, 0% ascochyta seed infec-tion is recommended because of the high rate of transmission of the disease from the seed to the emerging seedlings and its highly de-structive nature. Refer to the Saskatchewan Agriculture publication Seed-Borne Diseases of Pulse Crops.

CROP ROTATIONSeeding into stubble of the same crop kind will increase disease risk, particularly in high-er rainfall areas. Residue of infected crops may harbour disease pathogens. Maintain a diverse crop rotation.

ERGOTErgot attacks all varieties of rye, triticale, wheat and barley, as well as most common grass species. Oat is rarely attacked and all broadleaf species are immune. Grain con-taining 0.1% ergot is considered poisonous and should not be used for food. Refer to the Saskatchewan Agriculture publication Ergot of Cereals and Grasses.

SEED INOCULATIONLegume crops obtain much of their nitrogen requirement by forming a symbiotic associa-tion with soil bacteria called Rhizobium. These bacteria colonize the roots to form structures called nodules, where they fix nitrogen for the legume plant. To enhance nitrogen fixation, the legume crop seed should be inoculated. Use the proper strain of bacteria specific to that crop. For further details, consult the Pulse Production Manual (Saskatchewan Pulse Growers).

DAMP AND FROZEN SEEDSeed that is stored damp or tough may be low in germination and may lack adequate vigour. Grain that will be used for seed should be dried, if necessary, soon after harvest. The drying temperature should be below 37°C for batch driers and 43°C for recirculating and continuous driers. Frozen grain should always be tested for germination by a seed-testing laboratory before planting. Such grain will fre-quently produce a high percentage of abnor-mal seedlings.

WHEAT MIDGEAll wheat classes, including durum and tritica-le, are susceptible to wheat midge. Farmers in infested areas should be prepared to spray fields with recommended insecticides if nec-essary, unless varieties are midge-tolerant. Consider the use of midge-tolerant varieties. Refer to the Saskatchewan Agriculture publi-cation Wheat Midge.


The seed of annual canarygrass, more com-monly called canaryseed, is used as food for caged and wild birds. Seed hulls of CDC Bastia, CDC Togo, CDC Calvi, and CDC Cibo do not have the small, sharp hairs that cause irritation when canaryseed is threshed and handled and are called glabrous. CDC Cibo is yellow-seeded while the other variet-ies produce brown seed.

Canaryseed plants have a dense, shallow root system and growing the crop on sandy soils is not recommended. Canaryseed may be grown successfully on stubble, providing adequate moisture is available for rapid germination and emergence. The recom-mended seeding rate is 34 kg/ha (30 lb/ac) with germination greater than 85 per cent. Reduced emergence might be expected if canaryseed is seeded below 5 cm.

Canaryseed is subject to damage by English grain aphid and bird cherry oat aphid. Aphid populations build up rapidly on leaves, stems, inside the boot and panicles of the plant in July and August and may require an insecticide application to prevent yield loss. Information from the United States indicates that infestations of 10 to 20 aphids on 50 per cent of the stems prior to soft dough stage may cause enough damage to warrant in-secticide application. The aphids often hide in the dense head of the canaryseed plant. Damage may occur at populations below these levels.

Canaryseed leaf mottle is a foliar disease that can cause yield losses. Leaf mottle is caused by a fungus, Septoria triseti, that only affects canaryseed. The disease is in-conspicuous at early stages because there is little visual contrast between healthy and

diseased leaf area. Stubble-borne inoculum is the source of infection, thus crop rotation is key in limiting the severity of leaf mottle.

In recent years Fusarium spp., particularly F. graminearum, were commonly found in a majority of the Saskatchewan canaryseed fields surveyed. The average incidence with-in fields was generally low (3-4%). In most instances there were no obvious infection symptoms and seed plating was required to detect the fungus. In some cases an orange discoloration arising from Fusarium infec-tion is visible on the infected panicles in the field.

Canaryseed is resistant to shattering. It may be straight-combined or swathed when fully mature. For more information on canary-seed, consult the Saskatchewan Agriculture publication, Canaryseed.

BUCKWHEATBuckwheat is sensitive to high tempera-tures and dry weather conditions in the blossom stage, which can reduce seed set and yields. New self-pollinated varieties are being released. Buckwheat is very suscep-tible to frost at all stages of growth. Delayed seeding is advisable to avoid spring frost.

CARAWAYCaraway is a biennial spice crop, producing seed in the second year and sometimes in the third year. Seedlings are small, slow in developing and compete poorly with weeds. The crop is usually swathed because of its indeterminate growth habit and seed shat-tering.

CORIANDERCoriander is an annual spice crop. Seed-lings are small, slow to develop and compete poorly with weeds. The large seeded type is earlier maturing than the small seeded type. CDC Major is a large-seeded coriander va-riety and CDC Minor is a small-seeded vari-ety. The crop is usually straight-cut to avoid wind damage in swaths. For more informa-tion, consult the Saskatchewan Agriculture publication Coriander.

FENUGREEKFenugreek is a leguminous spice crop adapt-ed to dryland conditions in the Dark Brown and Brown Soil Zones. The crop should be seeded early to avoid yield and quality loss from fall frost. Contract production is advis-able, as markets are limited.

SAFFLOWERSafflower is an annual oilseed or birdseed crop that can be grown successfully in the Brown Soil Zone. Safflower must be sown early (late April).

Saffire matures in about 120 days. Seed should be planted shallow but into a firm, moist seedbed at about 30 kg/ha (27 lbs/ac). Saffire has moderate resistance to sclero-tinia head rot and alternaria leaf spot. Con-tract production is advised.

Seed Quality and Seeding Rates Are Crucial to a Good Plant StandBy Saskatchewan Ministry of Agriculture

Seed quality and seeding rates are important for establishing good plant stands and—un-like the weather—are two factors we can control. Determining the quality of the seed starts with a seed test prior to buying seed or seeding the crop. Sending a seed sample to a qualified lab can provide information on ger-mination, vigour, diseases present, purity and thousand kernel weight (TKW). All of these factors help to inform growers of whether the seed is suitable for planting. Germination tells us how many seeds are expected to germi-nate and the vigour gives an indication of how well the seedlings will thrive under stressful conditions. Disease tests identify the level of seed-borne diseases in the sample and help determine whether a seed treatment is recommended. Seed with good germination and a high disease level may still be suitable for planting as long as a seed treatment that controls the disease is used.

TKW and germination are needed when cal-culating the seeding rate, using the following formula:

Seeding rate (kg/ha) = (target plant popula-tion/m2 ) x (TKW in grams) ÷ (expected seed-ling survival in per cent)

Target plant populations for various crops are shown in the adjacent table. Expected seed-ling survival is typically 5 to 20% less than the germination rate with pulses and cereals—more under ideal conditions and less under adverse conditions. For canola, expected survival rates range from 40 to 60%. Factors to take into account when determining the expected seedling survival are seeding date, soil temperature, moisture and texture, as

well as possible soil-borne diseases and in-sect pressures. The amount of seed-placed fertilizer and the seeding depth are factors that can also affect seedling survival.

Faba bean regional trials began in 2006 to accommodate growing interest in this crop as a nitrogen-fixing high-protein food and feed grain in moist areas. White-flowered

types are zero tannin. All coloured flower types have seed coats that contain tannins and may be suitable for export food mar-kets if seed size and quality match custom-

er demand. Maturity ratings are based on days until swathing maturity but will vary depending on seeding date.

FlaxMain Characteristics of Varieties

OILSEED CROPS

Camelina, sometimes known as false flax, is a short-season crucifer oilseed that can be grown on a wide range of soil types. It is well adapted to dryland conditions and does not tolerate excessive soil moisture.

Camelina seed is very small (1.0g/1,000 seed) and requires shallow seeding. Re-duced emergence may be expected when camelina is seeded deeper than 1.5 cm (0.5 inch).

Camelina plants are resistant to black-leg disease and flea beetles and possess good shatter resistance. Camelina may be straight-combined at full maturity or swathed when pods have turned colour from green to yellow.

Camelina is grown almost exclusively un-der contract; both camelina oil and meal are marketed for food, feed and industrial appli-cations. For more information on camelina, consult the Saskatchewan Agriculture publi-

cation Camelina.

MIDAS™ ~ is a spring-type camelina culti-var with high seed yield and high oil content. MIDAS™ grows to medium heights (65 to 85 cm), flowers, depending on the weather conditions, after about 45 days and reaches maturity 85 to 100 days after emergence.

MIDAS™ possesses quantitative resistance to downy mildew. Certified seed of MIDAS™ will be available to producers in 2017.

Camelina

Flax was last tested in 2017. All cultivar de-scriptions other than yield are based on data from the Linseed Cooperative Tests. All culti-vars are immune to rust.

Frozen flax should be analyzed by a feed testing laboratory to determine if it is free of prussic acid before using it as a livestock feed.

MustardMain Characteristics of Varieties

Three types of mustard are grown in Western Canada: yellow (Sinapis alba), and brown and oriental (Brassica juncea). Mustard is typical-ly grown under contract, where the contrac-tor specifies the variety to be grown to meet industry specifications for product quality. All mustard varieties have good resistance to blackleg disease and mature, on average, in 91 to 98 days.

AAC Adagio is a new yellow mustard vari-ety registered in 2014. Breeder seed of AAC Adagio was produced in 2013.

The three yellow mustard varieties have sim-ilar yield. A unique feature of yellow mustard is high mucilage content. Mucilage is valued by the mustard industry as a stabilizer in pre-pared food products. AAC Adagio has sig-nificantly higher mucilage content, but smaller seed size and lower protein content than AC Pennant and Andante.

Brown mustard is grown primarily for the Di-jon mustard market. AAC Brown 120 is a new brown mustard variety registered in Sep-tember 2017. It has 17% higher yield than

the check variety Centennial Brown. AAC Brown 120 has significantly higher allyl gluco-sinolate content, as well as signicantly larger seed size, than Centennial Brown. It is re-sistant to white rust 2a and 2v, whereas Cen-tennial Brown is susceptible to white rust 2a and 2v.

AAC Oriental 200, registered in October 2015, has a higher (6%) yield and significant-ly lower oil content than Cutlass. AC Vulcan and Forge have higher allyl glucosinolate con-tent than Cutlass and AAC Oriental 200.


Understanding Clubroot Resistance and the Classification SystemBy Errin Willenborg, Sask CanolaIn 2017, Clubroot was detected in Saskatche-wan in Crop Districts 9A and 9B. If you farm in areas where clubroot has been detected, or if you are concerned about clubroot, the fol-lowing management tips are recommended:

• Minimize soil movement by restrict-ing the entry of vehicles that have not been sanitized, minimizing till-age and creating a separate exit as far as possible from the field en-trance

• Post multiple “no-trespassing” signs • Extend your crop rotation, including

at least a two-year break between susceptible crops, even when resis-tant varieties are utilized.

• Grow clubroot-resistant varieties in regions where clubroot has been identified

• Control volunteers and canola-re-lated weeds throughout the rotation

• Scout canola crops by examining the roots for the presence of swollen root tissue (galls). Focus on field en-trances, low areas and suspicious patches

• Consider DNA-based soil testing to help detect the pathogen, even when there are no visible symptoms or in fields that have other crops (wheat, barley, etc)

Clubroot-resistant (CR) canola varieties are key tools used to delay clubroot establish-ment and manage clubroot disease on the farm. However, to prevent rapid genetic shifts in clubroot populations and subsequent loss of effective resistance in CR varieties, this valuable resource must be used judiciously in an integrated management approach. An integrated approach includes practicing a

diverse crop rotation — ideally three years between susceptible crops in infested areas — while effectively managing weeds, sani-tizing equipment and minimizing soil move-ment. This approach allows for reduction of soil inoculum levels and minimizes the risk of selecting for clubroot pathotypes that can overcome our current resistant (R) varieties.

Clubroot resistance in a variety should be substantiated through standard testing pro-cedures outlined in the Western Canada Canola/Rapeseed Recommending Commit-tee (WCC/RRC) guidelines and protocols. Varieties are compared to the susceptible check variety for clubroot infection and are assigned resistant (R), intermediate (I) or susceptible (S) ratings.

Resistant (R) ratings indicate less than 30% infection compared to susceptible checks in disease tests. It is important to remember that resistant (R) varieties are not immune, but highly restrict the development of clubroot symptoms in fields with low to moderate dis-ease pressure from resting spores in the soil. Under heavy pressure in severely infested fields, a resistant (R) variety can show sig-nificant root galling, but may develop fewer and smaller galls than a susceptible variety. Under these heavy pressure situations and frequent use of CR varieties, clubroot popula-tions rapidly evolve to overcome the genetic resistance. To delay this shift in clubroot strains and loss of CR variety efficacy, CR varieties should not be grown in short ro-tations.

Intermediate (I) ratings indicate between 30 to 50% infection compared to suscepti-ble checks in disease tests. This rating will mainly be used for adding rating labels to the

base resistant (R) label in multiple resistance gene varieties to specify moderate resistance against certain new strains. Varieties with additional intermediate (l) labels can provide marginally better disease protection on fields with presence of new corresponding strains, but should not be grown in fields where resis-tance to predominant strains has been widely defeated.

If there is no clubroot label on a variety, as-sume it is susceptible to clubroot. An ex-treme buildup of spores can occur very quickly when susceptible varieties are grown in short rotation on slightly infested fields. Susceptible varieties should not be grown in clubroot-infected fields, or those at higher risk of becoming infected.

A base (R) resistance label requires that the variety is resistant to the predominant club-root strains or pathotypes in Western Can-ada. Additional ratings can be appended to the base (R) label to describe resistance to specific uncommon or new pathotypes. To date, no CR varieties, including new ones with multiple resistance genes, are resistant to all of the clubroot pathotypes detected in Western Canada.

Careful scouting in all host crops, including (R) rated canola crops, is extremely import-ant to help detect early infestations. Waiting to use (R) varieties until significant infesta-tions have developed will result in high soil spore loads and increase the probability for pathogen shifts, which can rapidly defeat va-riety resistance.

Canola (Small-Scale Trials)Main Characteristics of Varieties

Varieties listed in the 2011 to 2016 data in-clude only those that had more than 10 sites, and were either grown in two of the last three years of CPTs or were in both 2016 and 2017 trials.

Data from the 2017 Long Season Zone and 2017 Mid Season Zone are included. This data summarizes 2017 Canola Performance Trials (CPT) - www.canolaperformancetrials.ca.

Insufficient data was collected to publish Short Season Zone results. Individual loca-tion results are available at www.canolaper-formancetrials.ca.

All varieties in the table above have a resis-tant rating for blackleg. Lesions and yield loss can still occur, based on the level of in-oculum and pathotype(s) present in the field, in combination with environmental conditions conducive for disease development. R-gene

labels will be included in future guides.

Clubroot is caused by a soil-borne pathogen that produces resting spores as part of its life cycle. These spores are long-lived and inhibit canola performance once the plant is infect-ed. Using clubroot-resistant varieties in Crop Districts where clubroot has been found is highly recommended as a risk mitigation tool in combination with adequate rotations.



Least Significant DifferenceWhen comparing average zone yields for varieties in the small plot data, the least significant difference (LSD) is about 10 to 14 bu/ac. If variety A yielded 52 bu/ac. and variety B yielded 45 bu/ac., they would be considered statistically the same. This is based on a confi-dence level that significant differences would occur by chance less than 5% of the time. In the small plot design used, varieties were grouped by herbicide system, which means that the LSD shown strictly applies to comparisons between varieties of the same herbicide system.

More importantly, comparisons between varieties within the same herbicide system reveal only genetic differences, whereas variety comparisons between herbicide systems compare the net effect of both genetic and herbicide effects (weed control and crop tolerance).

Where can you get the Canola Performance Trial results?Results are available through an online interactive tool at www.canolaperformancetrials.ca. The interactive tool allows growers to explore many agronomic factors and to search for trial data in specific geographic areas near their farming operations. Details on man-agement, operations and environmental data for each individual site are reported online. The online tool has an economic calculator that includes the costs associated with growing the selected variety to assist growers in determining potential profitability. Data is also available in booklet form and will be distributed through various publications or can be obtained from your local agri-retailer.

SunflowerMain Characteristics of Hybrids

Sunflower requires 105 to 125 days to mature, depending on the cultivar and the growing season. Oilseed sunflower has been grown in the Dark Brown and Black soil zones in southeastern Saskatchewan. Harvest moisture is a good indication of how quickly these hybrids will be ready to combine in the field. The EM varieties

are adapted to production in most areas of Saskatchewan. AC Sierra is open pollinat-ed and not a hybrid.

The Saskatchewan Sunflower Committee has been conducting trials in Saskatch-ewan for the purpose of registration and demonstration since 1983. Sunflowers no

longer require three years of yield testing to be sold in Saskatchewan. Saskatch-ewan Sunflower Committee will publish results from each year. For the complete data set, please email or call Sherri Rob-erts with Saskatchewan Agriculture at [email protected] or 306-848-2856.

Varieties are available that have resistance to the predominant pathotypes, but are still not immune to the disease. Soil testing can

help detect the presence of the clubroot pathogen early, even at soil concentrations much lower than concentrations that result

in visible symptoms in the field.CANOLA ADDITIONAL INFORMATION (CONT’D)
